Freshman Trevor Lawrence threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 2 Clemson to victory over No. 1 Alabama.

Williams, who entered the game tied for second on the Crimson Tide with eight sacks this season, didn't register any noticeable pass rush - to be fair, no one on Alabama did - as the Tigers handily won the title.
